Revolution Controller showing confirmed – Iwata keynote to reveal all

We've all been reading about this controller now since the dawn of time. Well it feels like it.
There's been so much speculation and expectation around this that it makes you feel like you are about to witness a big disappointment when they finally unveil it.

I don't expect so much from this controller. I don't even expect it to br new or particularly high tech.

If you look at the DS and describe what it is, break it down to little parts, it's simple, and it's not new. There's nothing revolutionary about the DS just like there was nothing new about the N64 controller.
They didn't re-invent the wheel with either, they just gave it another job. Took something old and gave it a new role.

Whatever the controller is, I hope it is treated better than the Gamecube controller. Does anyone else remember Miyamoto saying that the GC controller would be the standard Nintendo controller from now on, on this generation and beyond?

Well I thought Nintendo really under exploited that controller. They even admitted so in a recent interview, saying that they ended up making more simple games than it was designed for.
When they launched that they talked about the sorts of games designed around the controller and in truth all they really made was reworked N64 games with an uncomfortable Z trigger. With a couple of exceptions of course but it seemed like the only people who did use it properly were Capcom.

I'd also like Nintendo to ditch almost all of their franchises on revolution rather than make another update and instead come up with new stuff, new characters, maybe the same sorts of games but new characters that you can do things that you can't do with the existing ones...(.....like make them speakor even better, kill them!! :D)

oh yeah. but that's another story.

Knee-jerk reaction from Matt 'Chubby' Casamassina

Well, I know for a fact that the controller will be wireless and that there will be a black version. That's all that matters to me at the moment =P

Take you pick.

If Nintendo shows a teledildonic game console I'll celebrate for months.

I honestly thought that said "prick" to begin with... ... which would've been better.

8/10

-He will show the Nintendo Wifi Connection running for DS, since it launches next month. Probably with Mario Kart, but with a little luck with AC:WL or MP:H
-He will then show the final design for the Revolution, a black box 10x the size of the original xbox, running on a jet engine, thus being the most powerful console ever. The revolutionary aspect will be a pair of "Tom Cruise - Top Gun" sunglasses to provide each game with a marvelous "Gerry Bruckheimer" effect of the sun setting in the distance.

Ok guys, you can stop posting, those goodies are mine.

SPOnG editor in proof of having Revolution in office already shocker:

I think we all know the controller WON'T be shown :(

It seems SPOnG is staffed by skin-headed freaks...

Ok, I think Nintendo may... now get this... re-release the original Famicom controller... (tweaked a bit for this day and age, of course)... but that's the "Revolution" so-to-speak, not a "grand army with a big change", but instead coming full circle and "simplifying" things as they have been stating time and time again (and also the perfect way to sell the gaming public more on that "heritage" stuff they are going for now).

Which would be cool and yet uninspiring all at the same time! But I must admit that I wouldn't mind seeing a return to the basics...

Good Ol' N has a habit of re-releasing older technology (and games), and re-selling em', as if they were new.... (they're actually quite good at it, SNES-GBA, is a prime example)... so it fits the profile.

Anyway, guess we'll see this friday!

I think Nintendo has been secretly breeding an army of flesh eating zombies, and that the show on friday will be a diversion used to unleash this devistating plauge apon the masses. The actual controler will be a vibrating dildo with gyroscope doodads in it, shaped like kirby. People will be dumbfounded and unable to speak, the zombies will have it easy. and we will all die horrible, horrible deaths. I on the other hand, will baracade myself inside of my local wall-mart, and fight it out until the bloody end. Think about it, wall-mart has guns, tons of ammo, every video game console ever as well as games and accesssorys, as well as cloths and enough food and tools to last months. Its the perfect place, but its mine!!! all mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i don't think this is the revolution, i buy in to the gyroscope idea now but since everyone put that, i already can't win the nintendo goodies if i put it so i'll put this down.

eventually, video game devs will be implementing some kind of feedback on the buttons. i think they have this for pc joysticks already, where you're playing a racing game and your car hits the wall of the track and the joystick just stops moving toward the outside of the track. you want to move it all the way to the right but the wall stops the joystick when you hit it. or perhaps you have some kind of prince of persia sword lock thing going on where your sword and an enemies have struck each other and you have to outpower the enemy to bring his guard down. as the game gets harder, you have to push the button down harder to overpower the enemy and everytime the button pushes against you harder. see what i mean?

it's kind of like that arm wrestling arcade where you push the mechanical arm all the way to the mat and it pushes back against you. plus it reads how many pounds of pressure you put on it so it knows who has the highest score.

I can't see Nintendo having "force feedback" or whatever it's called in their controllers to the point where it pushes your hand around or whatever. There are so many hurdles to overcome I can't see it being possible as there are so many things to consider such as:
- What if you're really strong? It won't push your hand round.
- It would need some juicy battery to power it and I'm not sure it would last too long if it had this super feedback in it.
Although it would be cool I just don't think it's going to be it. I do however think there will be yet more fine tuning to the rumble features from the gamecube controller.

we have long seen key configuration for long now it should b configur able controler.i means to say u can move keys frm one place of controler to another just like u can drag an icon frm one place of ur desktop to another
